Long-term effects of PM2.5 and its components on incident hypertension among the middle-aged and elderly: a national cohort study
The positive associations of long-term exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> and its components with hypertension incidence were discovered in adults aged ≥ 45 years. Controlling the emissions of PM<sub>2.5</sub> components, especially BC and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>, could alleviate the burden of hypertension.
